African Americans are more likely to face the burden of excessive force, disproportionate fines, extended jail time, Taser and dog attacks, and racism by the Ferguson Police Department, according to the scathing new report from the new Department of Justice investigation. The report found a disturbing culture targeting the black community and straining relationships with police. Outgoing Attorney GeneralEric Holder gave a speech Wednesday to address the wide injustice gap between the black community and the police force, adding the Ferguson PD had made constitutional violations a part of their routine. RT’s Manuel Rapalo breaks down the findings and the racial bias within the police.

Officials say that a Justice Department's probe into the practices of the Ferguson Police Department has determined that their actions were the root of racial tensions in the St. Louis suburb for years.

Police

A police force is a constituted body of persons empowered by the state to enforce the law, protect property, and limit civil disorder. Their powers include the legitimized use of force. The term is most commonly associated with police services of a sovereign state that are authorized to exercise the police power of that state within a defined legal or territorial area of responsibility. Police forces are often defined as being separate from military or other organizations involved in the defense of the state against foreign aggressors; however, gendarmerie are military units charged with civil policing.

Law enforcement, however, constitutes only part of policing activity. Policing has included an array of activities in different situations, but the predominant ones are concerned with the preservation of order. In some societies, in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, these developed within the context of maintaining the class system and the protection of private property. Many police forces suffer from police corruption to a greater or lesser degree. The police force is usually a public sector service, meaning they are paid through taxes.

Chief of police

A Chief of Police, also known as Police Chief or sometimes shortened to just Chief, is the title typically given to the top official in the chain of command of a police department, particularly in North America. Alternate titles for this position include Police Commissioner, Colonel (according to Rhode Island State Police), Police Superintendent, and Chief Constable. In contrast to a Sheriff (who is generally elected by the voters of a county, except in the states of Rhode Island and Hawaii), a Chief of Police is usually a municipal employee who owes his allegiance to a city or town. Some states have both an appointed and an elected Chief of Police (Louisiana). In some jurisdictions the head of the police commission is the leader of the police and holds a position analogous or similar to the one described here, in this case he is referred to as Commissioner. The New York City Police Department has both a Police Commissioner and a Chief, formerly called the Chief Inspector, now called the Chief of Department. In Louisiana, a Chief of Police may serve as the Chief of Police, Marshal, and Constable for a city. The fraternal organization International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) is an organization often associated with many Chiefs of Police.

HuffPost Live

HuffPost Live is an Internet-based video streaming network run by news website The Huffington Post. The network produces original programming as well as live conversations among users via platforms such as Skype and Google+. Live content was previously streamed for 8 hours each weekday, from 10 A.M. to 6 P.M. EST. Instead of the usual TV news format of individual "shows", the network is divided into shorter segments covering an individual story or topic from the parent website as well as other segments pertaining to a specific part of the site itself (politics, money, front page, etc.) It launched on August 13, 2012. On January 8, 2016, Arianna Huffington announced that HuffPost Live would be scaled back to reorganize the Huffington Post's video strategy toward more shareable online content. Ever since this reorganization, HuffPost Live's programming has consisted of rerun content from previous truly live shows combined with a varying number of new live celebrity interviews per day.

Ferguson: A Report from Occupied Territory

More than six months after Michael Brown was killed by OfficerDarren Wilson, the youth-led protests in Ferguson continue to fuel a national movement against police brutality.
“Part of the struggle for us in Ferguson is to break a four-hundred-year belief that black people are not human,” says St. Louis native and activist Rev.Osagyefo Sekou.
After the Department of Justice released a blistering report finding systematic racism and prejudice against blacks in the Ferguson Police Department, protests continued, the police chief and several Ferguson officials resigned, and two police officers were injured in a shooting.
This problem, however, is not unique to Ferguson. St. Louis County is made of around 90 municipalities, each with their own police departments and courts. Residents repor...

Ferguson Shooting 2014: No Indictment of Officer Darren Wilson in Michael Brown Death

A St. Louis County grand jury has brought no criminal charges against Darren Wilson, a white police officer who fatally shot Michael Brown, an unarmed African-American teenager, more than three months ago in nearby Ferguson.
The decision was announced Monday night by the St. Louis County prosecutor, Robert P. McCulloch, at a news conference packed with reporters from around the world. The killing on a residential street in Ferguson set off civil unrest — and a national debate — fueled by protesters’ outrage over what they called a pattern of police brutality against young black men.

The purely outrageous things happening in Ferguson Missouri over the last couple of months have brought to my attention a couple things about the condition of our country.
As far as we have come, still in this country when something along racial lines happens it seems to me a lot of people go to their respective corners. The people politically on the right seem to hold onto the notion the police are always right, somehow let’s blame the victim for this event. The folks on the left seem to hold onto the views that the victim is always a victim and of course racism or sexism or whatever is to blame.

Once Upon A Crime: U.S. Police Brutality

Miguel Francis-Santiago investigates police brutality in the USA. Hundreds of US citizens die every year at the hands of law enforcement officers. A disturbing number appeared to pose no immediate threat to their killers. Unarmed people being shot, beaten and even suffocated to death by officers, continue to make headlines, despite an almost continuous public outcry.
The recent death of Michael Brown, shot by a policeman, caused violent civil unrest in the town of Ferguson. As a result, 24 US states have introduced police reform proposals in an attempt to prevent excessive use of force. Many disturbing videos showing people being shot by officers often suggest that those responsible are entirely conscious of what they are doing.
Miguel meets the victims of alleged police brutality, people...

RTD goes to the town of Ferguson, Missouri, USA, to find out more about the issues that fuelled mass protests and unrest after 18-year old Michael Brown was shot dead by a police officer. His tragic death ignited tensions that had been simmering for years in the economically deprived area. The events have raised wider questions of racial profiling, police violence and social justice across the whole of the US.

More than six months after Michael Brown was killed by OfficerDarren Wilson, the youth-led protests in Ferguson continue to fuel a national movement against police brutality.
“Part of the struggle for us in Ferguson is to break a four-hundred-year belief that black people are not human,” says St. Louis native and activist Rev.Osagyefo Sekou.
After the Department of Justice released a blistering report finding systematic racism and prejudice against blacks in the Ferguson Police Department, protests continued, the police chief and several Ferguson officials resigned, and two police officers were injured in a shooting.
This problem, however, is not unique to Ferguson. St. Louis County is made of around 90 municipalities, each with their own police departments and courts. Residents report similar discriminatory treatment at the hands of law enforcement. And with so many different jurisdictions, a small infraction like an expired license plate can turn into dozens of fines and eventually warrants. Those in St. Louis who live below the poverty line are faced with the reality of buying food or paying fines.
In theFusion documentary Ferguson: A Report from Occupied Territory, we turn to the residents of St. Louis County to tell us what it’s like to be racially profiled and under siege.

Attorney GeneralEric Holder said the tensions between law enforcement and residents that erupted after the killing of Michael Brown were unsurprising given the "toxic" environment created by the biases of the Ferguson Police Department.
The DOJ investigation report found that Ferguson police used police dogs exclusivley against African-American subjects, just one of many discriminatory policing pratices in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment and other federal laws.
Attorney General Holder provided an example of Ferguson police misconduct, which often leads to “multiple arrests, and payments that often exceed the cost of the tickets” they receive.
“In 2007, one woman received two parking tickets for $152,” Holder said. “To date, she has paid $550 in fines and fees to the city. She has been arrested twice for having unpaid tickets, and spent six days in jail. Yet today, she still inexplicably owes Ferguson $541. And her story is one of dozens of similar accounts that our investigation uncovered”

The republican letter to Iran, ongoing clash over police racism in Ferguson, and underlying bias in the media is chewed up by John Fugelsang, of TELL ME EVERYTHING on SIRIUSXM. In a talk highlighting the hypocrisy of the political system, we discuss the sexism against Hillary Clinton, racism against President Obama, and trace where the American dream went perversely wrong. What are the right reasons the president should be criticized, and is there such a thing as integrity in journalism any more? We attempt to find out in this uncensored interview on MediaMayhem, hosted by AllisonHopeWeiner.
GUEST BIO:
Whether on stage or in front of the camera, John Fugelsang's intelligent humor and versatility have earned him critical acclaim and audience recognition across multiple entertainment mediums.

Ferguson Shooting 2014: No Indictment of Officer Darren Wilson in Michael Brown Death

A St. Louis County grand jury has brought no criminal charges against Darren Wilson, a white police officer who fatally shot Michael Brown, an unarmed African-American teenager, more than three months ago in nearby Ferguson.
The decision was announced Monday night by the St. Louis County prosecutor, Robert P. McCulloch, at a news conference packed with reporters from around the world. The killing on a residential street in Ferguson set off civil unrest — and a national debate — fueled by protesters’ outrage over what they called a pattern of police brutality against young black men.

The purely outrageous things happening in Ferguson Missouri over the last couple of months have brought to my attention a couple things about the condition of our country.
As far as we have come, still in this country when something along racial lines happens it seems to me a lot of people go to their respective corners. The people politically on the right seem to hold onto the notion the police are always right, somehow let’s blame the victim for this event. The folks on the left seem to hold onto the views that the victim is always a victim and of course racism or sexism or whatever is to blame. The rest in the middle, very few, seem to be the only ones able to actually fairly assess the truth.
Michael Brown has been labeled a thug by practically every right wing pundit in the country, based on pictures on Twitter and Facebook and the possibility he strong-arm robbed a store. I grew up in the so-called hood and I never heard of strong arm robbery before early August 2014. These pundits accepted pure hearsay to defame Michael Brown's character and essentially congratulated OfficerDarren Wilson for his outstanding police work.
However, we have no first-hand testimony, not one single piece of first-hand testimony yet, revealing his side of the story. What concerns me most is not whether Michael Brown was a bully or a thug or whether he deserved to be shot six times that day. What does concern me is how folks on the right, who usually demand objectivity, rationality and evidence have somehow degenerated to an out right conviction of Mr. Brown, losing all objectivity. It simply doesn't seem like their brains were working that day.
In this video you will here conservative whites say blacks are more violent than anyone else in the country. You will hear them say police are killed by blacks all the time. You will hear that blacks commit more crimes than anyone else. These ideas, pure lies by the way, will come out of the mouths of those who claim they are not racists. They are also the ones who cannot tolerate hearing the word, “racist”, it has become the “N” word for white conservatives.
But what conclusion should I draw about their motivation when they make claims that are verifiably false? Peter Schiff said whites who are murdered are murdered by blacks 45% of the time. This is consistently WRONG! The percentage is more like 13.7%. How could he be so far off? Another time he says blacks commit more violent crimes than whites. The numbers are impossible to make that claim. Routinely, 60% of violent crimes are committed by whites and 22% by blacks.
Bill Whittle made a 12 minute video espousing how blacks commit crimes against whites five times more often than whites do against blacks. He failed to mention how few crimes that turns out to be. He also fails to mention whites commit crimes against other whites five times more than blacks do against whites.
Bill O’reilly, a person I have little respect for (at least the aforementioned folks I usually enjoy watching), said police have a genuine and evidential concern blacks will kill them. I cannot understand this considering fewer than 90 of the 750,000 sworn badge holders in the U.S. are killed in the line of duty by criminals. In 2012, 16 officers were killed by black offenders. Twice as many officers were killed by whites that year.
He also claimed blacks commit more violent crimes than whites, but he engaged the word "proportionally" to give his position more veracity. Somehow the average citizen now concerns himself with proportionality? Since violent crime in America has been reducing year over year, people are safer more and more in this country. The number of offenders is shrinking so much, why do we need to single out a small segment of the criminal population and blame them for all the crimes in America? That reasoning is as absurd as claiming eliminating “assault” rifles will reduce gun murders. We know this is a false narrative. Why can we not see through the false narrative directed at a whole class of people?

Miguel Francis-Santiago investigates police brutality in the USA. Hundreds of US citizens die every year at the hands of law enforcement officers. A disturbing number appeared to pose no immediate threat to their killers. Unarmed people being shot, beaten and even suffocated to death by officers, continue to make headlines, despite an almost continuous public outcry.
The recent death of Michael Brown, shot by a policeman, caused violent civil unrest in the town of Ferguson. As a result, 24 US states have introduced police reform proposals in an attempt to prevent excessive use of force. Many disturbing videos showing people being shot by officers often suggest that those responsible are entirely conscious of what they are doing.
Miguel meets the victims of alleged police brutality, people who experienced it first-hand and others who lost loved ones to it. They are engaged in a long fight for justice and want answers. They also want the police to be accountable for what they do, most of all though, they hope to prevent more tragic deaths in the future. The growing use of personal and dashboard cameras by Police Services has exposed just how widespread the problem is and provided the evidence needed to take some rogue police officers to court. Yet, incidents of police brutality continue.
For a fuller picture of the issue and why certain communities have lost all trust in how the legal system works, Miguel meets a serving police officer and a prominent lawyer who regularly handles lawsuits against the Police brutality that has affected people throughout the USA., and he even speaks about the issue with Mr Quentin Tarantino. Miguel explores its causes and asks, what might put an end to it?

African Americans are more likely to face the burden of excessive force, disproportionate fines, extended jail time, Taser and dog attacks, and racism by the Ferguson Police Department, according to the scathing new report from the new Department of Justice investigation. The report found a disturbing culture targeting the black community and straining relationships with police. Outgoing Attorney GeneralEric Holder gave a speech Wednesday to address the wide injustice gap between the black community and the police force, adding the Ferguson PD had made constitutional violations a part of their routine. RT’s Manuel Rapalo breaks down the findings and the racial bias within the police.

DOJ to Announce That Ferguson Police Discriminated Against Black People

Officials say that a Justice Department's probe into the practices of the Ferguson Police Department has determined that their actions were the root of racial tensions in the St. Louis suburb for years. The investigation was spurred by Michael Brown's death at the hands of former Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson. What's more, their findings reportedly include a racist joke shared by city officials in Ferguson.

Ferguson report only ‘tip of the iceberg’ in US’ systematic racism, activist says

The JusticeDepartment’s Ferguson police report has been a lightning bolt of controversy and has exposed the systematic and violent use of police power against African Americans in the city. Some have also used it to draw parallels between current events and racial tensions from 50 years ago. RT’s Ben Swann talks with civil rights activists and author Perry Redd about the current state of race relations and their history.

Ferguson: A Report from Occupied Territory

More than six months after Michael Brown was killed by OfficerDarren Wilson, the youth-led protests in Ferguson continue to fuel a national movement against police brutality.
“Part of the struggle for us in Ferguson is to break a four-hundred-year belief that black people are not human,” says St. Louis native and activist Rev.Osagyefo Sekou.
After the Department of Justice released a blistering report finding systematic racism and prejudice against blacks in the Ferguson Police Department, protests continued, the police chief and several Ferguson officials resigned, and two police officers were injured in a shooting.
This problem, however, is not unique to Ferguson. St. Louis County is made of around 90 municipalities, each with their own police departments and courts. Residents report similar discriminatory treatment at the hands of law enforcement. And with so many different jurisdictions, a small infraction like an expired license plate can turn into dozens of fines and eventually warrants. Those in St. Louis who live below the poverty line are faced with the reality of buying food or paying fines.
In theFusion documentary Ferguson: A Report from Occupied Territory, we turn to the residents of St. Louis County to tell us what it’s like to be racially profiled and under siege.

Eric Holder: Ferguson Police Cultivated A 'Toxic' Environment

Attorney GeneralEric Holder said the tensions between law enforcement and residents that erupted after the killing of Michael Brown were unsurprising given the "toxic" environment created by the biases of the Ferguson Police Department.
The DOJ investigation report found that Ferguson police used police dogs exclusivley against African-American subjects, just one of many discriminatory policing pratices in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment and other federal laws.
Attorney General Holder provided an example of Ferguson police misconduct, which often leads to “multiple arrests, and payments that often exceed the cost of the tickets” they receive.
“In 2007, one woman received two parking tickets for $152,” Holder said. “To date, she has paid $550 in fines and fees to the city. She has been arrested twice for having unpaid tickets, and spent six days in jail. Yet today, she still inexplicably owes Ferguson $541. And her story is one of dozens of similar accounts that our investigation uncovered”

Belmar stated that there are no suspects yet in the shooting, but a manhunt was continuing and there were several leads in the investigation.

How racist is the Ferguson police department?

Ferguson Shooting 2014: No Indictment of Officer Darren Wilson in Michael Brown Death

A St. Louis County grand jury has brought no criminal charges against Darren Wilson, a white police officer who fatally shot Michael Brown, an unarmed African-American teenager, more than three months ago in nearby Ferguson.
The decision was announced Monday night by the St. Louis County prosecutor, Robert P. McCulloch, at a news conference packed with reporters from around the world. The killing on a residential street in Ferguson set off civil unrest — and a national debate — fueled by protesters’ outrage over what they called a pattern of police brutality against young black men.

Ferguson Shooting 2014: No Indictment of Officer Darren Wilson in Michael Brown Death
http://www.youtube.com/user/TheNewYorkTimes

The purely outrageous things happening in Ferguson Missouri over the last couple of months have brought to my attention a couple things about the condition of our country.
As far as we have come, still in this country when something along racial lines happens it seems to me a lot of people go to their respective corners. The people politically on the right seem to hold onto the notion the police are always right, somehow let’s blame the victim for this event. The folks on the left seem to hold onto the views that the victim is always a victim and of course racism or sexism or whatever is to blame. The rest in the middle, very few, seem to be the only ones able to actually fairly assess the truth.
Michael Brown has been labeled a thug by practically every right wing pundit in the country, based on pictures on Twitter and Facebook and the possibility he strong-arm robbed a store. I grew up in the so-called hood and I never heard of strong arm robbery before early August 2014. These pundits accepted pure hearsay to defame Michael Brown's character and essentially congratulated OfficerDarren Wilson for his outstanding police work.
However, we have no first-hand testimony, not one single piece of first-hand testimony yet, revealing his side of the story. What concerns me most is not whether Michael Brown was a bully or a thug or whether he deserved to be shot six times that day. What does concern me is how folks on the right, who usually demand objectivity, rationality and evidence have somehow degenerated to an out right conviction of Mr. Brown, losing all objectivity. It simply doesn't seem like their brains were working that day.
In this video you will here conservative whites say blacks are more violent than anyone else in the country. You will hear them say police are killed by blacks all the time. You will hear that blacks commit more crimes than anyone else. These ideas, pure lies by the way, will come out of the mouths of those who claim they are not racists. They are also the ones who cannot tolerate hearing the word, “racist”, it has become the “N” word for white conservatives.
But what conclusion should I draw about their motivation when they make claims that are verifiably false? Peter Schiff said whites who are murdered are murdered by blacks 45% of the time. This is consistently WRONG! The percentage is more like 13.7%. How could he be so far off? Another time he says blacks commit more violent crimes than whites. The numbers are impossible to make that claim. Routinely, 60% of violent crimes are committed by whites and 22% by blacks.
Bill Whittle made a 12 minute video espousing how blacks commit crimes against whites five times more often than whites do against blacks. He failed to mention how few crimes that turns out to be. He also fails to mention whites commit crimes against other whites five times more than blacks do against whites.
Bill O’reilly, a person I have little respect for (at least the aforementioned folks I usually enjoy watching), said police have a genuine and evidential concern blacks will kill them. I cannot understand this considering fewer than 90 of the 750,000 sworn badge holders in the U.S. are killed in the line of duty by criminals. In 2012, 16 officers were killed by black offenders. Twice as many officers were killed by whites that year.
He also claimed blacks commit more violent crimes than whites, but he engaged the word "proportionally" to give his position more veracity. Somehow the average citizen now concerns himself with proportionality? Since violent crime in America has been reducing year over year, people are safer more and more in this country. The number of offenders is shrinking so much, why do we need to single out a small segment of the criminal population and blame them for all the crimes in America? That reasoning is as absurd as claiming eliminating “assault” rifles will reduce gun murders. We know this is a false narrative. Why can we not see through the false narrative directed at a whole class of people?

Once Upon A Crime: U.S. Police Brutality

Miguel Francis-Santiago investigates police brutality in the USA. Hundreds of US citizens die every year at the hands of law enforcement officers. A disturbing number appeared to pose no immediate threat to their killers. Unarmed people being shot, beaten and even suffocated to death by officers, continue to make headlines, despite an almost continuous public outcry.
The recent death of Michael Brown, shot by a policeman, caused violent civil unrest in the town of Ferguson. As a result, 24 US states have introduced police reform proposals in an attempt to prevent excessive use of force. Many disturbing videos showing people being shot by officers often suggest that those responsible are entirely conscious of what they are doing.
Miguel meets the victims of alleged police brutality, people who experienced it first-hand and others who lost loved ones to it. They are engaged in a long fight for justice and want answers. They also want the police to be accountable for what they do, most of all though, they hope to prevent more tragic deaths in the future. The growing use of personal and dashboard cameras by Police Services has exposed just how widespread the problem is and provided the evidence needed to take some rogue police officers to court. Yet, incidents of police brutality continue.
For a fuller picture of the issue and why certain communities have lost all trust in how the legal system works, Miguel meets a serving police officer and a prominent lawyer who regularly handles lawsuits against the Police brutality that has affected people throughout the USA., and he even speaks about the issue with Mr Quentin Tarantino. Miguel explores its causes and asks, what might put an end to it?
